P4P if all the hardest punchers in the history of boxing were to fight eachother.. who would come out on top?
Tyson?
Julian Jackson?
Valero??
Liston?
Naz?
Benn?
Michael Moorer ( Light Heavy)
Dempsey
Marciano
etc etc..
Who has the best skills chin etc ? Who is the best puncher P4P in the history of the sport?
All weighing the same - who wins?
I say..................TYSON!!!!! ( peak)!

It's a difficult analogy to comprehend DG, because of the weight differential....
Would Benn hit harder than Tyson if he had been a natural heavyweight or vice versa ?
It's difficult to say.....
My top three out of your list would be Hamed, Tyson and Jackson
The top guy........Perhaps Jackson

I would have to agree with that because Jackson had amazing one punch KO power.

That would be my top 3 too. Nas and Tyson had that crazy combination of speed and power. Jackson just had lead fukin fists from what i've seen of him.

Don't forget - Jacksopn had quite a weak chin so the winner would have to have chin - skill and power..stamina and mental strength ( or did Naz lose that against Barrera?).
On 2nd thoughts......NAZ wins!
Imagine a heavyweight Naz!

McClellan had the heaviest hands.
Jackson was the best knockout artist (S.A.T - speed, accuracy, timing).
Nigel Benn was the powerfullest hitter, superb natural punching leverages and simply just swung to kill. Let's not forget at super-middleweight he was in the ring with 13-stone blokes when he could still make middle. Benn was the biggest banger for his size, he had the frame of a light-middle and lifted weights. He fought at light-welter in the army. Superb natural punching leverages that were something to behold, esp before he calmed down via America.

I'd go for Felix Trinidad at welter/light middle. Or maybe Hearns. Assuming we are not penalising them for being able to box.

Indeed he had murderous punching power, don't forget the Terry Norris KO as well.

Speaking of Naz, watch that Graham v Jackson fight again, you can see a 15/16 year old Naz carrying the flag into the ring

Up to 5 years ago, the fastest punch ever caught on film was thrown by Jack Dempsey. But that's a one-off.

Yeah, that was pretty good Asterix
He literally took his head off......Well almost !!
One of my other favourite knockouts was Tyson vs Marvis Frazier
Its the way that Farzier just slumps to the floor

Incredibly under-rated puncher. And the greatest intimidator of all time imo. Packing the shoulders with towels was genius.
He was Tyson in a time when being like Tyson made you an outcast and not beloved by the fans.
